Are GMOs causing your Migraines, GI disorders, Weight Issues

Jeffrey Smith: "When I speak to doctors around the
country, they report seeing an increase in the incidence and severity of
certain diseases, which they believe are GMO-related. Moreover, when
these doctors take people off of GMO diets, they report that the
symptoms - of migraines, gastro-intestinal disorders, weight problems,
and more - start to disappear.

GA/Tracy:Can you give some examples of the troublesome studies?

Jeffrey Smith: "The animal feeding studies for
reproductive dysfunctions are astounding. Rodents that eat GM soy had
changes in young sperm cells. Their testicles turned from pink to blue.
The DNA function in the embryo offspring changed. In one study where
female rats were fed GM soy, more than half of their babies died within
three weeks, compared to a ten percent death rate in those fed non-GMO
soy. The survivors from the GMO-fed group were largely infertile. In
another, most hamsters fed GMOs lost the ability to have babies by the
third generation. Infant mortality was also at four to five times the
rate of non-GMO eaters. Mice fed GMO corn had smaller and fewer babies.
This is just one topic."

GA/Tracy: Are the dangers reversible?
How can we protect ourselves?

Jeffrey Smith: That’s
the question:
What about our organs, our gut bacteria, etc.? I do know that
some doctors are having great results getting people off of GMOs. At
least one study fed mice GM soy for eight months, and saw significant
changes to the liver, pancreas, and testicles. Then, the researchers put
the mice on non-GM soy for a month, and the problems started to
reverse. So we have good news there. On our Web site, we have free
materials, including our Non-GMO Food Guide. We have a Non-GMO Tipping
Point Network where people join others to educate their communities.
We’re also launching a campaign to protect children, who are most at
risk, from GM foods. We invite people to participate in the non-GMO
revolution.
